SANCHEZ SANCHEZ, Teresa. Sex and gender: an interdisciplinary vision from psychology and the clinical practice. Rev. Asoc. Esp. Neuropsiq. [online]. 2020, vol.40, n.138, pp.87-114.  Epub 15-Fev-2021. ISSN 2340-2733.  https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/s0211-573520200020006.

This work, guided by a didactic purpose, deals with a very prolific topic in scientific, philosophical, and artistic articles, which is the dialectics between sex and gender. The paper starts from a setting that places some basic pieces of vocabulary on the discussion table. It reviews some relevant milestones of the history of this debate and highlights the main controversies. The outlining of perspectives (biological, constructivist, social) that polarizes the various positions is followed by a summary of the options to be found, concerning both identity and the orientation of desire and the definition of subjectivity. The work concludes with a forward-looking vision on the possible direction that awaits us, as we will treat, from the biopsychosocial disciplines, individuals who will go through this process of finding their place in the world from the sexed biological body to its much more versatile relational configuration (intimate or public, interpersonal or social).
